DOWNERS GROVE — There’s nothing to fear about solo travel, says Abercrombie & Kent, whose small group escorted itineraries and newly launched savings are giving solos that extra nudge to travel on their own.
“Small group escorted travel is especially appealing for solo travellers,” said Keith Baron, President of Abercrombie & Kent USA. “It’s a chance to explore an iconic destination like India, China or Peru alongside expert local guides who bridge the language and cultural differences, as well as sharing the enjoyment of discovery with other travellers.”
And coupled with the company’s just-announced solo savings, which include 50% on the single supplement on select departures in 2019, there’s no better time for solos to book a trip.
Solo savings are available on 35 small group journeys, including:
